Bleeding. Need to hear some positive stories!

Although we saw a hb last thurs I started bleeding yesterday pretty badly. It has pretty much stopped now and am just spotting brown but I'm still freaked out. I go for an u/s at noon. Any positive stories would help!

We talked last night, and I mean, I am only like 7-8 weeks along, so it's hard to say what the long term outcome of this pregnancy will be... but, I don't remember if you mentioned cramping or passing clots.... I didn't pass any clots larger than just little strands and the cramping I had was miniscule... and then baby has been fine both times I've had bleeding. The waiting is impossible... I think you are going to be ok, and baby, too!

I am 7 weeks today, and started spotting brown a few days ago and it stopped. I called the OB they said it was normal, and not too worry until I had cramping and red/lots of blood. Well yesterday I was doing yard work and bam I felt the huge (I hate this word) gush and went into the bathroom and and it was red. I went ahead and went to the ER got an ultrasound, and it was very rassuriing to see the babies heart beat. They diagnosed me as a threatened misscarrige. It is very difficult to understand why this bleeding happens and it is impossible not to freak out. The positive side to the story, I bleed with my first pregnancy, pretty bad at 10 weeks and I know have a beautiful 5 year Girl. I am working on chilling out and taking it wasy until my appointment next week. If it makes you feel any better, lots of woman bleed at this point. They reassured me at the ER that it is very common. I hope you get good results with your ultrasound and hang in there. I am just trying to remain as positive as possible.

I have to agree, bleeding (even red) can does happen frequently. My OB told me its around 25-30% of pregnancy that experience some.

Use your judgement and go to ER if it gets bad. But some blood may happen and you can still have a healthy pregnancy.

I've had bleeding twice now and both times it was bright red but my hcg levels continued to rise and now about half way through week 6 I'm healing with miserable "morning" sickness....

Ultrasound next Tuesday- even though its been stressful, I am pretty confident that things will be okay.

Remember that even though there are many very sad stories of miscarriage and we hear them on these boards alot- overal the risk of miscarraige is around 15%. So the odds are in your favor that things will work out just fine. Hang in there!

I couldn't believe it, but both on-call doctors I talked with said to avoid the ER unless you were saturating four maxipads in one hour. Talk about severe. I would have gone to the ER if the bleeding was half that, I am sure... But it wasn't. It is so encouraging to read about women who have bleeding while pregnant success kids to show for themselves! Praise God.

It is so nice to hear positives things on here about bleeding issues. I posted in the M/C Concerns group for some positive stories (to raise my spirits) similar to mine and got mixed answers. Some said go to the ER, demand HCG testing, and you are probably having a MC. It is nice to hear good things and hear about pregnancies that go on and are doing great. I have had spotting here and there for about two weeks (nothing now :) which is making me somewhat positive) and had two small blood clots at 4w4d and am freaked out. No pain, no cramps, my boobs are sore :) . The doctors office just said if there is soaking of pads, pain or cramping, go to the ER. So here I wait, another 12 days for an US or more symptoms to happen. I think by the time I have an U/S I will be prepared for either answer. It won't come as great of a shock as if it was all at once. Good Luck to others and know you aren't alone!!Janis

I have several kids and bled with each pregnancy and theyre all finesome pregnancys was like an actual period, others it was light bleeding spotting for few days around expected af time, my farthest time bleeding was at 13 weeks now that scared me but shes 6 yrs old right now lol keep your head up it could be alot of different things

Yeah, this would have also been the time I was due for my 2nd AF since being pregnant. And the bleeding happened twice, within four days. The doctor didn't mention that as being something... but, my great-aunt said she had heard that (ages ago) when she was pregnant. But then again, they were still doing "frog tests" haha.... gross!
